“As we talked with investors, partners and customers, it became clear that our two business segments could continue to grow faster as independent entities,” FarmLink CEO Ron LeMay said in a release. “With strong brand recognition, first-mover advantage and experienced teams in place, both companies offer compelling investment opportunities as each delivers unique approaches to increasing profitability and sustainability of agriculture operations at a time when new approaches are needed more than ever.”

LeMay will be chairman and CEO of both companies.
